I'm working on a game for the xbox360, using XNA. On the Xbox the garbage collector performs rather badly compared to the one on a PC, so keeping garbage generated to a minimum is vital for a smoothly performing game. I remember reading once that calling a delegate creates garbage, but now for the life of me can't find any references to...
Because the xbox 360 only supports specific video/audio codecs, I'd like to write a utility that would look in a directory and convert files to specific formats as they are dropped in the directory. In some cases, it would only need to convert the container format (ie, mkv to wmv or avi) and in some cases it might need to convert the a...
Hello, I am 13 years old and am interested in programming for games. I am currently building an iphone game with Shiva using Lua as the scripting language. After that, I am not sure what I should do or what languages I should learn. My goal is to keep building games but I also want to build my own game console. Of course, that wont be fo...
does anyone know if the Marshal class is available on the xbox360, specifically the AllocHGlobal method. Unfortunately I don't have access to an xbox right now, otherwise I would test it myself! Basically I want to be able to allocate unmanaged memory myself, ie. this piece of code should work: IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(10000)...

What kind of frameworks / libraries are used to develop cross (console)-platform games, like ones that get released on Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3 at the same time? Or similarly, Xbox Live / PlayStation Network / WiiWare all at once? Surely such things are not freeware, but just... what are they in the first place? ...
I want to use OpenSteer for my game that I want to be compatible with the Xbox 360. I have heard that since it is a wrapper for a C++ library, it will work in XNA on a PC, but not on the Xbox. Is there no way to make it compatible? UPDATE: The C++ version may not be, but what about OpenSteerDotNet? ...

Is there a .NET API available to get data from your XBox Live account? All I'm really interested in is who's online, but messages would be cool too. And some sort of event driven notifications of user sign-on would be great, but I'll poll if need be. ...
I'd like to get a look at the differences between the Xbox 360 and Windows XNA assemblies. I know the 360 runs the .NET Compact Framework and I was under the impression that Reflector could read CF assemblies, but when I open them, all of the methods are blank and no internal classes are shown. Is this done on purpose, or is it a limita...
I tried to look this up on MSDN, but couldn't get a straight answer. It says: The .NET Compact Framework for Xbox 360 implements a subset of the .NET Compact Framework, and has been optimized to take advantage of and expose the power of the Xbox 360. What exactly is the subset? Which version of the framework? 3.5? 2.0? ...

I'm trying to read a PDB file into a C# application. When I call loadDataFromPdb or loadAndValidateDataFromPdb with a file that I know exists, I get an HRESULT of 0x806D0005. Unfortunately, I have no idea what that means. I have the list of possible results [here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2008hf0e(v=VS.80).aspx) but I'm af...
Hey everyone, Just wondering - throwing ideas in my head - about starting a new XNA project for the 360. I would like it to be retro-old school, and emulating scanlines and color palettes and such. As part of this idea, what I would ideally like to do is manually draw each and every pixel of the screen. So, worst-case scenario I would...
